This Exhaust Systems Australia header kit (MPN HOLDEN-VE-VF-V8-6-0L-6-2L-1-5-8INCH-HEADER-KIT) runs a 1-5/8inch primary and is listed to fit the Holden VE and VF V8 in 6.0L and 6.2L. The smaller 1-5/8inch primary is the defining choice here. It is a special-order item.
What does the 1-5/8inch primary suit?
Primary tube size is an application choice. The 1-5/8inch primary on this kit is the smaller of the sizes offered for the VE/VF V8 — a tighter tube keeps exhaust gas speed up, which generally favours low-down and mid-range response on a street-driven LS-era V8 rather than chasing the top end. It is the size to ask about when the car is built for road manners rather than maximum airflow. We do not quote dyno figures; the size is the published spec, and we read it back against your car before fitting.
What is a header kit and where does it sit?
Headers, also called extractors, replace the cast factory exhaust manifolds with separate tubular runners from each cylinder, sitting at the very front of the system and feeding everything behind. Supplied as a kit, it includes the pipework and hardware to complete that section rather than the headers alone. The material is not published in the listing, so we confirm it on the part.
Will it suit my VE or VF?
It is listed to fit the Holden VE and VF V8 in 6.0L and 6.2L. Those are specific platforms and engines, so confirm your exact model and engine with the workshop before ordering. As a special-order item it is brought in to order, so factor that into your timing.
What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?
Oak Flats Muffler Men fits VE/VF header kits like this in-house across the Illawarra. The job means access to drop the factory manifolds, fresh gaskets, and matching the kit to the system behind it. Supplied by Exhaust Systems Australia at $1,255.00 as a special order; send your car's details and we will confirm the fit and book the bay.
